I have several Contax 35mm film cameras and assorted lenses available but let's start with an RX. This camera was purchased new in the mid nineties and I think it is in excellent condition. The other cameras are an N1 and a G2. I'm asking $200 for the RX.

I may be interested in some of your lenses... But would need more information.

Brings back memories. My father bought a Contax, in Europe I think) and used it the rest of his like, some 20+ years. It was a II or IIa.

Thanks, how much would you ask for the 100 mm f/2.8?

I think $275 is a fair price.

What are you asking for the G2 (and lenses) and what condition are they in? I still have my Contax slrs with 3 Zeiss lenses.

Thanks,

For the Contax G2 camera and 3 lenses and shipping I think $2000 is fair.

Yes, it probably is, but more than I want to spend on a lens that I will rarely mount, but you are correct, it is a fair price given pricing elsewhere.

Fair enough. Be well.
